≈ About Devika ≈

Devika has been teaching yoga since 1995. She was trained in Nepal and India. Devika also has degrees in Hatha yoga therapy, health food management, Ayurvedic massage and Reiki. In 2000 she started her own yoga centre in Pokhara. In 2003 Devika fell chronically ill although she kept up her daily asana practice. She consulted all kinds of medicine: western, ayurveda, Tibetan, chiropractors, etc… but none could cure her. It was only in 2008, due to the rising of kundalini in her body that she started to heal. During this experience she could observe the energies working inside her body. She started understanding how blockages are created and how they can be resolved with yogic postures and movements. Devika shares these unique techniques that come to her through revelations in her classes. Every year, during off-season in Nepal, Devika goes abroad. She leads retreats and teaches workshops in the UK and Europe. Devika also manages the Nepali Yoga Women Trust. A percentage of the fees is donated to this organization that helps marginalized women by teaching them holistic therapies, handicraft skills and self healing techniques.

Thank you HELEN for sharing your experience.

This place is absolutely incredible! I came here in October as part of my 4 month travels and have literally been recommending it to anyone that will listen since! I am fairly new to yoga and alternative therapies and Shyam made me a bespoke timetable which included yoga, massages, reiki, sound healing and candle gazing all at an incredibly reasonable price. The business is a family affair and the family are just so so lovely, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. The food was absolutely incredible. I was worried it may be bland as they prepare without chilli or garlic to help with meditation etc however I needn’t have been, some of the best food I have had since I have been away (and I’ve eaten a lot of good food!).

Th accommodation is spacious and comfortable with unlimited hot and cold drinking water, as well as hot water to shower. They will even do your laundry which is greatif you come straight from hiking! I felt relaxed and rejuvenated when I left and wanted to stay for longer. I will be returning without a doubt 😊

Our RYT200 lead instructor is Shyam Gurung. His first exposure to yoga was in early 2003 through his sister Devika, the founder of Himalayan Yogini and considered to be the first female yoga instructor in Pokhara, Nepal. After two years of self practice Shyam started teaching in 2008 when he received his first HY200 hours yoga certificate from Himalayan Yogini. Since then Shyam received training in India: 150hrs Yoga Alliance from Agama Yoga School in Dharamshala. In 2015 He received RYT200 hours Yoga Alliance certification from Earth Yoga School in Nepal. Currently, Shyam teaches yoga philosophy, asana, anatomy and physiology. Shyam has earned his E-RYT200 status and YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Program) in 2018.

To date: Shyam has 3,250 teaching hours.
